Iowa

Last night Bill was highly entertained

watching three workers at dusk in Sioux

City prepare a water tower for painting

at dusk.  He estimates the water tower

was about a quarter mile away

from the hotel.  They worked into

the night wearing helmet lamps.

Saw lots of wind turbines in

corn fields today!

Corn was starting to grow in some parts

of Iowa.  It's amazing to think that the

farmers use GPS to plant the

rows so precisely.

 

"Freedom Rock" in Sac City

is dedicated to all military

branches of our armed forces.

World's Largest Popcorn Ball!

Here is the building that houses the popcorn

ball.  It was hard to get a picture

due to the reflections of the glass.

 

Large ethanol plant on Rt. 20.

Corn granaries also along Rt. 20.

The left field was planted first.  The one

on the right somewhat later.  This way 

the harvest is spread out over time.
